great idea. I'm a little hesitant on whether I should require the "INTERNET" permission in the app though. if i do require it, then the app can, in theory, take valuable sensitive data from your device and send it to one of my nigerian based database centers :cool:

what do you guys think? require internet and give you weather data with the clock notification or keep noled "offline" in the sense that whatever happens on your phone, stays on your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Eniac77:
Great App!!!

This app works flawlessly on my Nexus S and I also just installed it on my Galaxy Ace.

This developer definitely deserves donations.

Thanks to the OP for a great application.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Use Internet and require a credit card and social security number.

Or just make the data and weather an option. Either way, the app is great.

dismiss with power button is disabled. Now I have the lockscreen for Phonelocator Pro (same as regular android lockscreen) as a managed app, so it's possible that it's breaking it?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
that's your problem.

don't mess with the default lockscreen ;)

Please keep NoLED offline, at least as an option. Thanks.

No internet connection, especially if servers are in Nigeria! It's just the worst country ever for this kind of things.

One guy above had the idea to ask us for credit card number and social security number, which is stupid, it would make things even worse, i would never give you this and second there's no social security number in every country!!

Hi !

I'm not sure but i think i get an issue with Noled on Nexus S

When in settings, i set Noled for :

5 min, in fact i get 1 min

15 min, in fact i get 5 min

30 min, in fact i get 15 min etc....

Somebody heard about this ?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
are these the timeout settings?
[Android Apps and Games] fredbull:
Yes i speak about this timeout setting
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
found the bug. a nasty one. it affects all locales in noled except 3.

i'll get fixed in the next release. for now, you can switch noled to english and this problem will be gone.

i think this bug has been there for a while :o

merci pour le "bug report".
[Android Apps and Games] fredbull:
It mad me mad for an hour for find the reason but happy to help you ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I was sarcastic, don't worry :p

I don't really have the resources to build my "nigerian prince" database centers. lol.

I guess we'll put that idea of adding "weather" to rest for now. I totally understand the concern with NoLED going online so we're keeping it offline.

Hi I have an Ace and a Thrill, both dont have AMOLED screens... Does this consume to much battery and damage the screen in anyways for other screens besides AMOLED?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer but I can tell you this: I do know some users who are using NoLED on non-AMOLED screens and so far, haven't been complaining.
[Android Apps and Games] KarateExplosion6:
MiLocker?

Has anyone else tried to use NoLED with MiLocker by MIUI? I did over the weekend, and here's the issue I had... The NoLED notifications would appear, but I would be unable to dismiss them. Nothing worked, aside from the notifications and I was stuck on that screen perpetually. Uninstalled MiLocker and NoLED is working flawlessly. I'm using a Droid Charge.

Anyone else?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:

Silent mode

Thanks for this app and keeping the updates coming!

I am using v0.6 and I can see NoLED as a running service, I have also restarted my phone and locked/unlocked it. My phone is in vibrate mode but still there is no dot appearing when I get a SMS. I'm using a Finnish Galaxy S with original ROM and only other app running is Tasker.

Any ideas as to why this is not working?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Unfortunately, it is really hard for me to support compatibility with different apps that may be interfering with NoLED. I'll try to look into these once I get some more basic features implemented.

I will try to reproduce this problem later on. Meanwhile, do you keep Kies on for prolonged periods ? Perhaps the next feature which will have a toggle to disable NoLED can be used when you're in Kies ?

I stopped having JP3 Froyo after 0.4. That could be the reason why. I think there may be some permission problems or conflicts between Eclair and Froyo on the Gmail and Gtalk protocols. Could you please start the app, logcat the output and the java exceptions, and pm them to me ? :) All of these problems will be eventually ironed out when Froyo proves to be more stable and I make the permanent switch.

Like I said earlier, its very hard for me to make this software compatible with other apps that may be interfering with it. Perhaps we can make a list of apps that are not compatible with NoLED ?

I have just put my phone in Silent mode, sent an SMS message to myself, and received the green dot. You may have a program that is not compatible with NoLED. Try rebooting and sending an SMS to yourself first thing. If that works, there may be a bug somewhere ! So far everything works fine here on my phone. The only bug I notice is that sometimes I receive two notifications (red purple) for example instead of just purple. I'll try to fix that in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] brunes:
Would you consider releasing the source for this?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I mentioned it somewhere else in the thread. At the moment, am not.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnopps:
I tried disabling Tasker and restarting, phone in vibrate mode. Even though I also tried locking and unlocking the phone still not notification when I got a SMS.

My running services are Device Management, DRM-protection, Google Talk, SNS, Swype, Battery Left (widget), NoLED, K-9 Mail PushService. I tried stopping Battery Left and K-9 but this did not help.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Is anyone else having problems with SMS notifications ?

@Gnopps: Do all other notifications work fine ? What if you put phone in Sound mode (non silent), do you receive a green dot for SMS ?
[Android Apps and Games] Gnopps:
Alright, I tested again and now I did get it working! I enabled sound and then wentback to vibration and now it works. I tried to rebook in vibration work and it worked now with no need to go to sound mode.

Strange.. Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] controller38:
I guess most of the lock screen applications can cause NoLED not function. I tried Screen Off and LockEnabler, as long as I used such applicaiton to off the screen, NoLED can not function well. But if I just let the phone off the screen automatically, NeLED functions very well.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeCoder:
Thanks for your reply.

Can you make the pop-ups invisible when the NoLed is working " visible" on the screen.

Because the Pop-ups will drain more power. If there is a way to make the NoLed cover anything that may show on the screen when it is active, it will be great.

Thanks again :)
[Android Apps and Games] rpritch:
Thanks for creating this program.

I have this loaded on my Vibrant (Bell Canada version). At times, the purple dot is static...it does not move until I turn on the phone. any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I know exactly whats causing this. It is partially due to the "fix" that I added that should've taken care of having to unlock the screen twice for it to respond. I'll make sure I remove that bit in the next release. Thanks for letting me know :)

I should be done with the toggle widget in 2 days time.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I'd love to work with you madmack to make NoLED work with WidgetLocker. I haven't had time to look into the issue but I suspect it's caused by the optional "Easy Wake Mode". (Which suppresses the system keyguard in much the same way that NoLock does)

madmack, if you're interested and have time (I understand if you don't right now) to work together on making our apps cooperate shoot me an email and I can send you the APK for WidgetLocker and we can talk about APIs.

[Android Apps and Games] ChiGGz:
I noticed that when the notification is on, that the screen still has a dark glow viewable in a very dark room. I guess AMOLED doesn't allow just a single pixel to turn on then right?
[Android Apps and Games] aloysiusf:
just a idea, instead of using the screen wit the red dot. It would be great if you can have an option to light up the blinking white led(menu, back button).
[Android Apps and Games] fitqueen:
battery

It definitely seems to drain the battery. I have Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S and I find the battery life hardly sufficient to begin with. I LOVE the app otherwise, but am concerned about the battery drain.
[Android Apps and Games] muntos:
Yes, please madmack, work with kevin and if possible solve this that both apps work together :) ! I just purchased WidgetLocker but I had to disable it in order to let NoLED to work properly :(
[Android Apps and Games] evermick:
battery consumption

This is a great idea.

However, I've found the battery consumption is quite high.

I did a test with data connection off and charged the phone to 100%. With a miss call and NoLED is active (i.e. a dot in the screen), it consumes 6% of battery for an hour. When NoLEd is inactive, it consumes only 1% for an hour.
[Android Apps and Games] picard2008:
The KIES connection-lockup home button of phone with NoLED needs not be connect with KIES for long. Each of my tests took less than 3 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] PhoenixFx:
Ok, but i find that green dot easy to miss , I'm more keen on SMS notifications than anything else, mail and other notifications are easily visible, but I find the green dot little hard to see especially when there are reflections on the screen or during the day time.

If you are going to provide a GUI, then please have the option to let users choose their own colors. :)

Thanks again.

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:

it was more work than i initially thought :rolleyes:. I'll lay out the details tomorrow hopefully. I just got a couple of rough edges to sort out and then I'll let this new version (v5.0b) out for a while here on xda before it hits the market given how stable v4.8 is.

[Android Apps and Games] titanoman:
Hi- I have the T-mobile Galaxy S2. I have 3 questions please:

1. How come the clock only displays when plugged in to the charger?

2. Under battery savings > screen brightness the default is 100, which is brightness off. Do I want it on 99 or less so the screen can display clock and notifications?

3. I'm using GolauncherEx. Is this interfering with my display issues?

I really like NoLed, but since the clock/battery level doesn't display unless I'm on the charger I'm concerned my notifications won't allays display either.

I read all the FAQ's and can't find an answer anywhere.

I would like to give this app a 5 star rating, and donate, but I'm getting exhausted hunting for answers, uninstalling, reinstalling, checking my settings again...

Thank-you for your time and helping me to get NoLed working properly (hopefully).:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
The initial release won't be themeable. It'll scale to your phone's screen density. If this feature proves to be popular, I might make it customizable and all. The weather image that you see is actually downloaded from the web, so nothing you see is stored locally.

1. You want permanent time display? Go to the Miscellaneous submenu and you'll find it there. I kind of hid it intentionally due to the likeliness of it being a major battery hog :)

2. hmmm.. I agree it's very ambiguous. I'll rephrase that option in the next release. it works like this: at 100%, auto brightness kicks in (or whatever setting you have in Android). If you have any other value, then that value is enforced and the brightness level won't change.

3. only lock screens interfere. you're free to choose whatever launcher app you want :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
So it basically downloads them and uses them. So in reality I could just swap out images and do some renaming and have it themed?

——————————

Deebo took your bike too?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
my bad. I meant "nothing you see is stored locally". I fixed the reply :o

it other words, you can't easily theme by swapping files because there are none.

I got ya. It's cool as it's still a cool feature. :-)

[Android Apps and Games] DaVoodooman:
@madmack. First of, I am new to android (Previous Iphone user ;-0 ) and I am realy enjoying the new experience. Thanks for your app. Very useful.

I just have 2 question regarding the themes:

What sizes should the different icons be? eg in Small, medium, bigger and even bigger?

With regards to the colours; can the monitored icons also be colour coded eg. if I change the "All Other" to green, can the icon also change to green? If so how do I need to create an Icon so that it can change colour?

:D
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
NoLED Weather

Introducing weather to NoLED without adding the INTERNET permission to the app is a challenge. That's why I bring to you guys a separate module called "NoLED Weather" that will have its own launcher icon (not so proud of that icon :p) and its own separate INTERNET permission. This module will update the main NoLED app with weather information that you can customize.

By doing that, NoLED can stay offline and retrieve the weather data from this module :)

The module will download weather information from Google's secret weather APIs. The associated icon is also downloaded from www.google.com whenever the module updates the weather.

How to

You'll need to download v5.0 or higher of NoLED.

You must download the NoLED Weather module and install it.

Open the NoLED Weather app and set the information about your city and your preferred temperature units. You can preview the weather icon from that window to make sure everything is ok.

If you want to disable that module, simply select "Don't refresh" from the pulldown menu. Otherwise, select how often you want NoLED to be updated with weather information.

Go to NoLED Settings > Toggle Notifications and select Weather.

Now whenever you have any notification on the screen, the weather icon will be there.

This adds no intrusive wakelocks, or any additional background services. The weather module only wakes up at the set intervals to get the weather information and then dies gracefully.

Currently you're not able to customize or theme this toggle. The size of the icon and text are adjusted to meet your screen's density/size.

Download

Get the weather module and the latest NoLED from the OP. After a while, these two will make it to the Market.

To all beta testers: clicking on the Weather toggle in NoLED will ask you if you want to download the module, for now you may ignore this and click on "No".

Screenshot of the module
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
You can choose any of these sizes and click on Test to see how they look on your screen. It all depends on your personal preference.

The monitored apps' icons cannot be colored at the moment. I'm planing on adding that ability. The "All other" color only applies if you have selected a dot instead of an icon for these monitored apps. You can create your own icon, sure. Long press on any monitored apps and select it. You can make these whatever you wish (e.g. a single colored dot, black&white icons.. etc)
[Android Apps and Games] DaVoodooman:
Sorry madmack, maybie I did not express myself clearly. I want to make monitored app icons that fit in with the default icons of noled. Can I make one size and then the app will scale them? Or do the four sizes each have specific dimensions? eg. small=32x32, medium=64x64 etc. I am looking for these dimensions. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dryzen:
multiple text filters

Hi,

it would be nice if NoLED could handle more than one textfilter per app, or maybe i don't see that feature?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
The app already scales the Monitored Apps icons to whatever the size of your current theme is. If you load your own custom image, these will not be scaled. You can always try different things and see what the outcome is :)

this is not currently possible. I find the option a bit too geeky and I don't imagine many people using it :rolleyes:. I could make it check multiple filters by separating each with a comma which will make it even geekier :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
Re: Sleep not working properly

Please give this more thought -- Sleep not working properly is a pretty big issue in my opinion (far more important than weather, serious enough that I'll have to find some other solution even if I have to program my own alternative), and I think it could (and should) be fixed without a significant impact on resources or features. NoLED is already triggering in some cases, and there are events it can trigger on in other cases. Otherwise I think the Sleep feature is too flawed to be useful -- I've had to stop using it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
There isn't anything to fix. The sleep periods are not to be enforced as it would break the framework and the idea and flexibility of NoLED's sleep functionality fundamentally. The way it's implemented now is the way to go and the way Android is designed to handle such API calls.

Unless I misunderstood the problem (that you're able to switch NoLED on even in the sleep period), I don't see anything to be changed here.

You obviously can always make use of the Tasker/Locale integration to trigger NoLED on and off.
[Android Apps and Games] dryzen:
I think it is very useful, let me explain:

If I get some mails for example every day / newsletters, i don't need an imediate notification, so with multiple text filters i could exclude all those (daily) mails.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
good point. I'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] DaVoodooman:
@madmack, the NoLED notifications are cleared when I press the home button. Is there a way to only clear them one they have been cleared from the notification bar?

Reason why I am asking this is that I use Timerific to do certain things at certain times. When it does it wakes the screen and then clears the NoLED's. I don't want that.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
no way to do that afaik. we don't have APIs that determine the disappearance of notification items from the status bar. It would've made my life easier if they existed and the whole lock screen thing won't be needed either.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

By the time I got around to downloading the new weather widget, I was to exhausted to install it and by morning couldn't remember what I wanted to install on my phone, lol. Anyway, once I got around to it I had to reboot for it to start displaying, but is is working just fine! Can't wait to show it off!:D

EDIT: I hate to ask this but I know someone else will eventually. Will it ever display a different icon according to my local weather conditions? Fog icon, rain icon, etc... Or will you keep it only to do temperature only. Sorry, we just keep wanting more and more, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] hassaan123:
We can choose custom icon for user installed apps like go sms etc, but can we choose custom icon for missed calls etc too?

Swyped from my Android
[Android Apps and Games] DaVoodooman:
Yep, go to the NoLED home page and look at themes. (Sorry, I can't post links yet. :rolleyes:)

;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yes it will :)

Google's weather APIs don't currently have night/day icons but they do display the correct weather icon: sunny, party sunny, partly cloudy, fog, rain, snow .. etc. We practically have four of these each day in Boston in the last few days, lol.

I'm personally very addicted to weather conditions :o. You'd find my desktop/laptop, and android device filled with weather information. I have 4 different weather widgets on my home screen for example. To know that I now have the current weather information whenever I receive a notification in a program that I've implemented personally and know for a fact doesn't consume any battery resources to fetch the weather information, is pure joy my friend :D

sms notification fail ?

I have galaxy note and installed noled and all calls notification work well but sms notification isnt working :S what is the problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
Sleep behavior is NOT working properly

An app with a defined "sleep" period should be OFF during that period and ON outside that period. As it is now, NoLED can be OFF

outside

of its sleep period, with no way for the user to know the difference between OFF and no notifications, making it

unreliable

for its intended purpose.

In the case (example) I documented here, NoLED triggers, but fails to notice that it's in the sleep period, and activates. With all due respect, that's a

bug

, because it deviates from expected behavior. And as documented in the UPDATE I posted, NoLED does

not

switch properly at ON and OFF times, which is likewise a

bug

.

But it's your app; I have no wish to debate this with you; and I'm not willing to install another app just to work around bugs. If you aren't willing to make it work properly, then I'll have to stop using it altogether (and rate it accordingly).
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Just kinda jumping in as a noled user... but doesn't the widget tell you its status? I was under the assumption that the widget displaying the clock meant the NoLed was off during its scheduled off period. The widget with color squares showed NoLED was on and the widget with no icons at all was an indication that it was off... or maybe I'm misunderstanding.
